Great textbook.” —STEVE DAVIS, University of Chicago School of Business
It is the best macroeconomics textbook on the market in my opinion and I use it in all the macroeconomics courses I teach. The part on the crisis is brilliant and my students love it.”
—IRASEMA ALONSO, Yale University
The strength of this book is that it succinctly presents the major topics in a clear and sequentially congruent manner. It tells a streamlined story and fits all the major pieces into a coherent whole. . . . Prior to switching to Jones, the consistent feedback from students is that they found the Solow model to be the most difficult to grasp. I am pleased to say that it is no longer the case since I adopted Jones. . . . ISMP analysis is excellent. (I am not looking back.)”
—VIC VARCARCEL, Texas Tech University
Personally, I love the growth chapters. As for the short-run chapters, I like setting up the simple ISMP diagram first and then adding nuance. Strengths of the text?—Simplicity without sacrificing content in dealing with cycles. A real appreciation of the importance of trend growth. . . . I will continue to use the Jones text. I think that the level is just right for my classes, and the basic structure makes it easy to “bolt on” new material that comes up.”
—DIETZ VOLLRATH, University of Houston
The most modern coverage of macroeconomics
I appreciate the combination of rigor and clarity the text provides. I appreciate how Jones clearly develops the long-run models. He concisely shows how the production model is refined and extended into the Solow growth model and how the Solow growth model is refined and extended into the endogenous growth model (a very useful exercise for students of economics). In each case he has a number of useful numerical examples that utilize inter-country comparisons that get students thinking about the relative position of the U.S. He succinctly deduces a short-run model from the long-run model.” —Anthony Laramie, Boston College
Chad Jones’s text is a wonderful modern treatment of macroeconomics. Its discussion of growth is by far the best around, with its theory-based yet data-intensive approach. Since students also seem to like it better than the other books— and I have tried the main competitors—I am all set!” —Per Krusell, Princeton University
The move to ISMP was not too bold. Frankly, I had been waiting for years for somebody to do this at the intermediate level. . . .” —Mark Siegler, California State, Sacramento
A great strength of the presented short-run model is the explicit recognition of expectations formation in price setting (AS curve). This greatly assists talk about dynamics and implications of credibility of policy. Working in inflation-output gap space is appealing.” —Bruce Preston, Columbia University
The Long Run
Macroeconomics is the only text that presents modern growth theory as researchers in the last 25 years understand it, with complete, accessible coverage of the Romer model and more accurate and appropriate presentation of the Solow model.
The Short Run
Macroeconomics uses a logical, straightforward short-run model that more accurately describes Fed behavior and is more intuitive for students: ISMP. New chapters on the ongoing economic crisis and the microfoundations of macroeconomics offer even more short-run coverage.
Part One—Preliminaries chapter 1: Introduction chapter 2: Measuring the Macroeconomy
Part Two—The Long Run chapter 3: An Overview of Long-Run Economic Growth chapter 4: A Model of Production chapter 5: The Solow Growth Model chapter 6: Growth and Ideas chapter 7: The Labor Market, Wages, and Unemployment chapter 8: Inflation
Part Three—The Short Run chapter 9: An Overview of the Short Run chapter 10: The Global Financial Crisis: Overview chapter 11: The IS Curve chapter 12: Monetary Policy and the Phillips Curve chapter 13: Stabilization Policy and the AS/AD Framework chapter 14: The Global Financial Crisis and the Short-Run Model
Part Four—Applications NEW! chapter 15: Consumption NEW! chapter 16: Investment chapter 17: The Government and the Macroeconomy chapter 18: International Trade chapter 19: Exchange Rates and International Finance chapter 20: Parting Thoughts

The economic crisis chapters are very helpful resources—I usually have 2–3 lectures solely devoted to current events. I am teaching intermediate macro for the fourth time using Jones’s textbook. It is great!” —Nune Hovhannisyan, University of Colorado
Jones turns an infinite horizon model into a two-period problem, and uses the much simplified framework (featuring the Euler equation) to teach undergraduate students the intertemporal consumption model. I find his approach quite appealing. The end product is easy enough for students to understand.” —Wei Xiao, Binghamton University
The Investment chapter is very well executed. Chad Jones does a good job in explaining the intuition behind the arbitrage equation without relying on the use of calculus. In this chapter, students can learn using the intuition behind the equations and also understand the decision through simple graphs.” —Fabio Milani, University of California, Irvine
Up-to-date coverage of the economic crisisThe Great Recession is the most important economic event since the Great Depression. Macroeconomics treats it with the importance it deserves, with up-to-date examples throughout the text and two complete chapters on the crisis and its impact.
Macroeconomics has greatly expanded its coverage of financial markets and fiscal policy, especially in the new chapters on the crisis. Also, the text has two new chapters, one on consumption and the other on investment, both of which reflect Chad Jones’s modern view of macroeconomics.
Expanded coverage of the microfoundations of intermediate macroeconomics
